Hammond, Indiana — A Michigan
educator has been named to the newly
created position of Director of
University Relations at Purdue
University Calumet Campus.

The appointment of I. Louis Bare, of

“Major functions of the new position
are to direct and coordinate public in¬

University, " Combs explained.

He added that Bare's initial charge
will be to review existing programs at
the Purdue Campus in Hammond and

programs in those areas.

"Mr. Bare joins our staff with ex¬

systems, colleges, research organiza¬
tions and other sectors.

From 1971 to 1973 he was Develop¬
ment Officer for Northwood Institute, a
private liberal arts and occupational
college in Midland, Mich. His efforts
brought Northwood into contact with
30 major philanthropic foundations
having little prior awareness of the col¬
lege.

His background also includes serv¬
ing as director of grant programs for
Ann Arbor's public schools, director of
Pennsylvania State University's
Management Counseling Center,
directing teacher of social studies in
Michigan and Florida, and manage¬
ment training coordinator for Kaiser

Motors and Koehring Co. in Michigan
and Wisconsin.

A native of Flint, Mich., Bare holds
bachelor and master degrees, plus
teaching certificates from The
University of Michigan. He has com¬
pleted extensive work on a doctorate at

the university in education administra¬
tion.

Bare has been active in sports since
boyhood. He was captain of the Flint
Northern High School state champion
football team in 1940 and was named
to the Michigan All-State Football
Team. At the University of Michigan
he played right tackle on the varsity
football team. He also was a pitcher on
the baseball team and tried out for the
Detroit Tigers major league baseball
organization.

During World War II he served over¬
seas as combat infantryman in the U S.
Army.

He is married to the former Betty
Amos, of Flint. Mich., and Winter Park,
Fla. They have three married
daughters: Mrs. Cheryl Cook, of
Ypsilanti, Mich.; Mrs. Michele Bradley,
of Westland, Mich., and Mrs. Nevatte

by the chancellors of those two cam¬
puses.

In announcing the new committee.
IUN Chancellor Dan Orescanin and
Purdue Calumet Chancellor Richard J.
Combs stressed that while informal
cooperation has existed for many
years, there was a clear need for more
systematic and formal cooperative ar¬
rangements.

The basic purposes of the new effort,
they said, would be to stretch the
dollars available to both campuses as
far as possible, to improve the educa¬
tional opportunities for students at both
campuses, and to serve the citizens
and communities of Northwest Indiana
as effectively as possible.

The committee, therefore, will ex¬
plore opportunities for cooperation in
academic programs, use of facilities,
and public service activities and pro¬
grams.

The two chancellors also noted that,
while the academic missions of the two
institutions differed in many respects,
there were similarities in some basic
offerings where it was essential to

avoid unnecessary duplication or over¬
lapping.

"With the limited state appropriations
available to us." they said, "and in view
of the legislative prohibition against in¬
creases in student fees, we must meet
our obligation to see that every' dollar
we have is wisely spent. ”

Each campus wilt be represented by
three members on the committee. The
Purdue Calumet appointees are Dr.
Alfred D. Sander. Dean of the School
of Humanities. Education and Social
Science; E. Eugene Engle, professor
of accounting and head of the Depart¬
ment of Administrative Sciences; and
Dr. Robert D. Bechtel, professor of
mathematics education.

The IUN members are Dr. F. C.
Richardson, associate professor of
botany and chairman of the Division of
Arts and Sciences; Dr. Mark Reshkin.
associate professor of public and en¬
vironmental affairs and associate pro¬
fessor of geology; and Dr. John
Soudah. assistant professor of educa¬
tion and director of educational student
services.

Food Group Seeks Ideas

The newly established Food and
Vending Services Advisory Committee
seeks suggestions from staff members
and students concerning food and ven¬
ding services at PUCC.

Suggestions should be sent to com¬
mittee members, the SFLC Information
Center or Student Affairs Office.

Prof. C. David Rose is committee
chairperson. Other committee mem¬
bers are: Administrators — Navy Ban-
vard. June Brockel. Joseph Curosh and
Harry Hubbard, Clerical and Service —
Cindy Kritz and Harry Schmidt; Faculty

— Dr. Ardath Coolidge; Students —
Raul Curiel. Terrence C. Demeter,
David Denson and Candace Jo Riddle.

Chancellor Richard J. Combs
established the committee to provide
the campus community an opportunity
to participate in the development and
on-going maintenance of quality food
and vending services. The committee
is charged with the advisory
responsibilities of assessing patrons
needs and assisting in the determina¬
tion and administration of food and
vending service agreements.

Guinness Record

Six technology students at Purdue
University Calumet Campus have set a
worlds record for six-handed, triple¬
deck pinochle.

They played cards for 46 continuous
hours which qualifies them for in¬
clusion in the Guinness Book of World
Records, according to Jody Jackett. of
Hammond, senior member of the
group.

The game began at 8 a m. Tuesday.
March 16. but lack of sleep caught up
with them. They had to call it quits at 6
a m. Thursday.

However, their achievement
establishes a record for the Guinness
Book and sets a precedent for six-

Set by PUCC’ers

handed pinochle. Previously, the boon
did not have an entry for that kind of
pinochle.

The two coeds and four male partici¬
pants played the game in the Student-
Faculty Library Center with a witness
present at all times. They took five
minute breaks every hour.

The marathon game was carried out
during the spring vacation break at the
Purdue Campus in Hammond.

The other players were Vicky
Leighty. of Hammond; Leone Graf, of
Matteson. III.; Don Deruntz. of Crown
Point; William Kobeska. of Highland;
and James Caputo, of South Holland,

Are We
Doomed?

One of the rawest rock bands ever to
lay down a few tracks is Budgie. A
budgie incidentally (for those who
don't watch Monty Python) is a bird in
England. Although we have birds here,
hardly anyone calls them budgies. Oh
yes, back to the subject. They 've never
made a big dent in the American
market, but then the American market
has kept alive some turkies that should
have been eaten for Thanksgiving.
Budgie's albums, except for In for the
Kill! are available only as imports. Still,
for those looking for some very basic,
but well done powerock should invest
in Budgie. Their debut album featuring
"Guts" may be their best. At any rate,
the cathartic value of their energy
generations is most surprising.

You may not know it, but Roxy Music
has been around for quite awhile. The
surprise single from Siren is waking up
some people from the deep. "Love is
the Drug,’’ (What?) is being given
airtime on AM radio and so now the
same people who listen to Helen
Reddy are hearing Roxy. This
represents the same sort of coup that
Alice Cooper pulled when "18" made it.
Roxy Music is a fine band though, and
all of their seven albums are worth
listening to. On the subject of AM
though. Foghat's "Slow Ride" is also
being played. It just seems strange to
herr that followed by "Feelings" or
some equally syrupy number. If they
keep it up. we'll soon be hearing Zap¬
pa's "Billy the Mountain" uncut on AM.

Since you're reading this after break.
I'll be surprised if Zeppelin's Presence
isn't out. They just recalled all of them
to inclose lyric sheets so that'll take a
while, but it's something to look

forward to.

I don t know how any of the outstand¬
ing people who read this column arise
in the morning. Many of you have clock
radios though right? Try this for a
change, listen to the Warren Frieberg
show on WLNR. It isn't rock 'n' roll, in
fact it couldn't be more opposite. Thet's
about all I want to say except that (a)
I'm glad that I don't own a handgun, (b)

I believe that all men are created equal,
(c) Guns cause a lot more problems
than rock 'n' roll ever will, and (d) I feel
guilty about wearing red shirts and us¬
ing my left hand when I listen.

Well that took longer than I thought it
would so now, on to business at hand:

Frank Zappa and the Mothers ofln-
vention - Just Another Band from L.A.
No. this isn't nostalgia week, but if
you've never heard this album. I
thought I should mention it. It s live
from a California concert a couple
years ago. Featured as vocalists are ex-
Turtles Flo and Eddie. Believe me.
after one listen to “Billy the Mountain."
you'll never be able to face a clam or a
Howard Johnson's without at least a
small chuckle. Flo and Eddie - Illegal,
Immoral, and Fattening An out¬
rageously funny parody of the rock in¬
dustry (in particular, the Stones.
George Harrison, Joni Mitchell. T-Rex.
John Denver, and Elton John) It's a
most unusual combination of rock and
comedy.

Shyhooks - Ego Is Not a Dirty Word

After all. Frued didn't intend it to be.
This Austrailian band is very much like
our own Tubes. They're gross but ex¬
ceedingly honest. Musically, they're
nothing special, it's the lyrics that will
grab you.

Second of a three part series

If you were to ask someone, who was
old enough to remember the Great
Depression of the 1930's, what things
were like, they might say "very bad or
may even refuse to say anything
These people experienced a severe
depression and they don 't want to think
of something like that happening again.

Even with what these people do tell
us and the information we read in the
history books, it is still hard to believe
that it could happen. Many people
laugh off the idea and say "1 don't think
it will happen.

It has been said that with all the new
welfare programs, social security and
unemployment compensation ever¬
yone will still have some income com¬
ing in. There wouldn't be enough
money available in the next
depression.

During the recent recession when
there was nearly 10% unemployment,
unemployment benefits were getting
tight. The next depression may pro¬
duce up to 30% unemployed, so it will
be very difficult to triple the amount of
funds available.

One of the major problems during
the Great Depression was bank
failures. A great many people lost all
their money.

They didn't have the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation then, but now
your money is insured up to $50,000. If
as many banks fail in the next
depression as they did in the 1930 s.
there would be no way the corporation

The Phi Sigs from Purdue Cal. were

ficially started on Feb. 27 with the ar¬
rival party at the Phi Sig house in
Dekalb. Basketball was played all day
Saturday and a victory party was held
Saturday night. The tournament pro¬
vided grounds for fellow Phi Sig

could come up with the money to save
the drastic losses that would result.

Senator Birch Bayh was asked in a
letter what he thought about the
possibility of another depression. He
admitted that there are some existing
factors that are analogous to periods
prior to past depressions, but he
strongly disagreed that a depression
may occur.

Senator Bayh stated that he could
not see world governments stand by
and let such a thing happen. The only
problem with this is that governments
may not be able to stop it if there is
such a thing as natural economic
cycles that eventually bring
depressions.

It was also mentioned in the first part
of this three part series that the
possibility existed of our government
being overthrown. Some students
thought that this idea was totally
riduculous.

Back in the 1930 s there were people
who planned to do so but never got too
far with it. In Europe there were people
like Stalin. Hitler. Mussolini. Franco
and their followers that did take power
as a result of the depression. During
bad times people will listen to anyone
who says good things and that couls
happen in this country too.

These are only possibilities that
could happen. All of this does not mean
that we are doomed. There are some
things that we can do to prevent a total
disaster and these will be discussed
nextti.

Recker. and Tom Sims. Everyone had
such a good time they decided to plan
another concert outing soon.

Two days later on March 5 the
brothers of Phi Sigma Kappa held a
Keggar at brother Gerry Lozinskis
house. The Phi Sigs would like to take
this opportunity to thank Mrs. Lozinski
for the delicious food she prepared.

Workshop for teachers of elementary
and secondary social studies this sum¬
mer.

The newly established Institute for
Economic Education is conducting the
two-week workshop from June 21 to
July 3 for teachers interested in in¬
creasing their knowledge and un¬
derstanding of economics. The
Institute is a division of the Center for
Community Services at the Purdue
Campus in Hammond.

The workshop is underwritten by the
1976 Sears-Roebuck Foundation Sum¬
mer Fellowship Program in Economic
Education and the Indiana Council for
Economic Education. Both organiza¬
tions are making tuition scholarships
available for qualified teachers.

Dr. Jonathan M. Furdek. Institute
director, explained that workshop
participants .will be selected on a first-
come, first-served basis. Enrollment is

limited to 30 persons and will be ac¬
cepted from March 29 to April 16.
which is the advance registration
period for the Summer Session and
Fall Semester.

The Sears Foundation has awarded
four fellowships to the Purdue Calumet
Institute, providing tuition fees and a
$300 stipend to cover other expenses
plus materials for the participants
school system.

In addition, the Indiana Council for
Economic Education will pay the tui¬
tion costs of the other 26 participants
through fee-remission scholarships.

Furdek will teach the course, encom¬
passing an introduction to economic
analysis and discussion of current
policies and issues of the economy.
Also, presentations will be given on
proven techniques and materials for
teaching economics in the elementary
schools and high schools.

Participants can earn three hours of
graduate credit, and classroom instruc¬
tion may be supplemented by presen¬

tations from local leaders of business
and industry.

Furdek cited that the workshop is the
first in a series of activities planned by
the Institute to increase public com¬
prehension of the numerous issues
surrounding our economy.

The Institute was created last

BIKE FREAKS UNITE!!

The "energy crisis has been with us '
for a few years now. So most of us are
probably familiar with the repeated ex¬
hortations by public officials, environ¬
mentalists and others to conserve
energy. Still, did you ever stop to
wonder just how effective these pleas
were?

Apparently these repeated urgings
did not go unheeded by the American
public. In a survey conducted by
Richard Curtin, a psychologist at the
University of Michigan, a good 60% of
the respondents said that they had cut
their energy use during the 1973-74
energy crisis. Less than 20% gave a
negative response.

Curtin also found differences in the
ways various strata of society reacted
to these please for conservation.
Those with more education tended to
feel that they could adjust to energy
shortages fairly easily. Those with a
lesser amount of education found the
adjustment more difficult. Young peo¬
ple had problems in reducing their
gasoline consumption. Inner-city resi¬
dents. on the other hand, were quite
willing to reduce their auto travel but
found it more difficult to lower their
thermostats. Overall, these differences
were small. Curtin feels that they
should not significantly hinder efforts
at energy conservation.

The major stumbling block in the
path towards greater energy conserva¬
tion seems to be consumer confidence
in the government's ability to effec¬
tively deal with energy problems.

TAKE A CHANCE

looking for people who seek ex¬
perience. Little money can be offered.

ing testing magazine can be offered.

Curtin discovered that only 29% of
those who were in disagreement with
the government's economic policy on
energy matters could adjust fairly
easily to lower home temperatures. On
the other hand. 40% of those in agree¬
ment with the government's economic
policy said that they had practiced
energy conservation in the past and
would continue to do so in the future.

In general, people whh had practiced
conservation in the past foresaw little
difficulty in continuing to do so in the
future Coupled with increased con¬
fidence in the government s ability to
deal with energy mattersconservation
would appear to be an important asset
in solving this nations energy pro¬
blems.

Energy conservation, of course, is
practiced in a variety of different ways.
Generally, conservation efforts by the
consumer usually take the form of
lower home temperatures or reduced
gasoline consumption. Reducing
gasoline consumption is often ac¬
complished by less travel by car, more
walking or by bicycling. The increasing
popularity of the bicycle as a mode of
transportation is quite evident. In¬
creased use of the bicycle can't help
but reduce energy consumption
significantly, right? Wrong.

A number of studies have been made
on the bicycle s potential as an energy
saver and pollution fighter. The results
of these studies are rather surprising,
to say the least. They estimate that a
realistic energy saving from increased
bicycle use would only be about 0.4%.
Reduction in air pollution fares a bit
better, a 3% reduction.

A number of assumptions were made
in coming up with these figures. These
assumptions are based on a number of

studies. First of all. automobile trips are
considered either short - under five
miles - or long, over five miles. Accord¬
ing to a "personal Transportation
Survey conducted by the U S. Depart¬
ment of Transportation, short trips ac¬
count for only 11.1% of automobile
mileage and long trips make up the re¬
maining 88.9%. So it is apparent that
the longer trips are the greatest gas
consumers.

Another assumption which was made
in coming up with the 0.4% energy sav¬
ings figure was that if people could be
convinced to substitute bikes for cars,
it would only be for trips of less than
five miles.

Studies have shown that most bike
riders are unwilling to ride for more
than about four miles. In fact, the
length of the average bicycle trip is
currently about two miles. Of course
there are people who ride much
greater distances on a regular basis,
but they are a minority.

The next step is to determine how
many of the short car trips can be con¬
verted into bicycle trips, given favora¬
ble conditions. "Favorable conditions"
include bikeways, convenient and
secure parking, locker and shower
facilities for commuters, etc. Given
these conditions and additional incen¬
tives such as increasing the price of
gasoline and restricting even further
automobile parking, it is estimated that
only about 25% of the short car trips
would be converted to bike trips.

Many experts consider this 25% to
be an optimistic figure. They back up
their contentions by using Davis.
California, as an example. Davis is
generally considered to be the most
bicycle oriented community in
America. Th influences of the
California climate, flat topography and
the presence of a University of
California campus all combine to result
in a bicycle population of 20,000 in a
town of 27.000

A recent traffic study done at an in¬
tersection in Davis, found that 25% of
the traffic passing thru the intersection
was bicycles. -Thus, if a bicycle
oriented town like Davis can only
generage 25% bicycle traffic, can any
other community realistically expect to
do better?

Bay area found that only 10% of short-
trippers would consider switching to a
bike. A Philadelphia study found only 5
to 10% who would consider switching.

These surveys and speculations form
the basis for the energy savings figure.
From these results the U.S. Environ¬
mental Protection Agency calculates
further.

The EPA estimates that transporta¬
tion accounts for 24% of energy use in
this country. With the assumption that
bicycle commuters won't pedal for
more than four miles, the EPA
calculates that trips under four miles
make up about eight percent of auto
mileage in the U.S. Assuming fuel use
to be roughly proportional to miles
traveled, the EPA figures that if all the
under four mile auto trips were con¬
verted to bike trips, an 8% fuel savings
would result. The equation for this is:
(24%: energy used by transportation)
(8%: energy saved by using bikes for
short trips) = 1.9% energy saving. But
not all short trips would be made by
bikes - only about 25%, as shown
above. Dividing the 1. (% by four re¬
sults in the 0.4% bicycle energy saving
figure.

You should be aware, however, that
these calculations overlook a number
of factors. One factor is that short trips
don't allow the car's engine to warm up
fully, and cold engines use more gas
and pollute more. too. Another over¬
looked factor is that cars in cities spend
a great deal of time idling in traffic. An
idling engine not only continues to use
gas. but it also burns it less efficiently.

Some attempts have been made at
including these overlooked factors in
the calculations. However, the new re¬
sults are not very impressive either. If,
for example, the EPA's energy saving
figure were shown to be wrong by half,
the figure would rise from 0.4% to
0.8%. Half is a large margin of error.

available in the EPA publication "Bicy¬
cle Transportation. " This publication is

ernment Printing Office. Washington.

Sexy Legs
Needed

The sisters of Sigma Kappa plan to
hold their annual "Sexy Legs Contest"
during the month of April. Every or¬
ganization should begin deciding
whose "legs" they want to enter in the
contest. Photos are taken of the legs
which are then displayed in the SFLC
building and voting, by a nominal con¬
tribution to the legs of one's choice,
takes place. Sisters Sue Bonham and
Julie Langel will distribute more in¬
formation later, and if questions arise,
they may be contacted.

Also on the Snakey K's agenda are
the Sigma Kappa Mother-Daughter
Luncheon to be held May 2 and a trip
down to Lafeyette on March 28 for the
Sigma Kappa Initiation at Purdue
Lafayette.

Girls B-Ball Season Ends

The P.U. girls basketball team ended
it's 76' season on a winning note by de¬
feating Trinity Christian, 42-35 giving
this rookie ballclub to a 2-8 record for
the season. The girls had a very
balanced scoring attack. Ann
Fritzpatrick, Lori Lazinski and Sheryl
Mahoney each had 9 points a piece.
Dee Votterodt had 6 counters. Sue
Miller 5, and Sue Grabovac and Dawn
Dobyns pitched in with one basket
each.

The girls pounded the boards, too.
Dawn Dobyns led all rebounders with
10 boards, backed up by Sue Miller
and Dee Votterodt with £ each. Sue
Grabovac, the only senior on the team,
will be sorely missed. Wed like to
thank all those who came out to sup¬
port us. Also, an extra big thanks goes
out to our coach Elly Chain for working
